Warning    

Before working on a chassis or working near power supplies, unplug the power cord on AC units; disconnect the power at the circuit breaker on DC units.

Warning   

Before working on equipment that is connected to power lines, remove jewelry (including rings, necklaces, and watches). Metal objects will heat up when connected to power and ground and can cause serious burns or weld the metal object to the terminals.

Follow these guidelines when working on equipment powered by electricity:

•Locate the emergency power-OFF switch in the room in which you are working. Then, if an electrical accident occurs, you can quickly shut the power OFF.

•Disconnect all power before doing the following:

•Installing or removing a chassis

•Working near power supplies

•Do not work alone if potentially hazardous conditions exist.

•Never assume that power is disconnected from a circuit. Always check.

•Look carefully for possible hazards in your work area, such as moist floors, ungrounded power extension cables, and missing safety grounds.

•If an electrical accident occurs, proceed as follows:

•Use caution; do not become a victim yourself.

•Turn OFF power to the system.

•If possible, send another person to get medical aid. Otherwise, determine the condition of the victim and then call for help.

•Determine if the person needs rescue breathing or external cardiac compressions; then take appropriate action.

Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage equipment and impair electrical circuitry. It occurs when electronic printed circuit cards are improperly handled and can result in complete or intermittent failures. Always follow ESD prevention procedures when removing and replacing cards. Ensure that the chassis is electrically connected to earth ground. Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, ensuring that it makes good skin contact. Connect the clip to an unpainted surface of the chassis frame to safely channel unwanted ESD voltages to ground. To properly guard against ESD damage and shocks, the wrist strap and cord must operate effectively. If no wrist strap is available, ground yourself by touching the metal part of the chassis.

Caution   
For safety, periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap, which should be between 1 and 10 megohm (Mohm).

Required Tools and Equipment

Both the AC and DC redundant power supply kits include the following;

•A redundant power supply

•Power ratings labels

To remove or install the power supplies, you will also need the following tools and equipment (which are not included):

•Cisco AS5300 access server

•Medium-size Phillips screwdriver

•ESD-preventive wrist strap

•Tie-wraps (optional)

•Antistatic bag (optional)

Removing the Chassis Cover

Step 5 Pull the fan closest to the power supply away from the sheet metal tabs. (See .)

Step 6 Lift the fan out of the chassis as shown in , and set the fan on top of the power supply.

Note   To help with reconnecting the cables, write down which colored cable connects to which fan. There are three different lengths of 2 wire ± 12 VDC power cables. The two shortest cables go to the two fans that you removed in Step 8. The two longer cables go to the two remaining fans removed in Step 9 and Step 10. The remaining cable goes to the power connector on the backplane. These cables are color-coded. If you use an incorrect cable to connect a fan on the backplane, then you will be unable to make one of the other connections.

Figure 8 Pulling the Fan Away from the Tabs

Figure 9 Removing the Fan

Step 7 Depress the tab as shown in Figure 10.

Caution   
Do not attempt to remove the fan cables without first depressing the tab as shown in Figure 10. You can damage the fan cables by applying stress if the connector is not removed properly.

Step 8 Disconnect the fan cable as shown in , and set aside the fan.

Warning    

Ultimate disposal of this product should be handled according to all national laws and regulations.

Installing a Redundant Power Supply

A redundant power supply has two power cords to provide higher reliability and load balancing. Use the redundant power supply to:

•Manage your system with alarms and other management features.

•Provide a higher reliability with a second built-in power supply.

•Balance loads.

Note   If your motherboard does not support a redundant power supply, the power supply will balance loads, but cannot be managed by your system with alarms and other management features. See the "Cisco IOS Support" section for more details.

To install the redundant power supply:

Step 1 Place the redundant power supply as shown in , then slide it toward the rear panel. You will be able to feel the chassis hook engage with the slot on the bottom of the power supply.

Figure 13 Inserting the Redundant Power Supply in the Chassis

Step 2 Connect the 6-pin connector to the motherboard, as shown in . Note that, for clarity, the illustration does not show the fans in place or the fan cables.

Note   If you have a motherboard that does not support a redundant power supply with the 6-pin connection, secure the loose 6-pin connector so that it will not interfere with the fans or other moving parts, then go to the next step.

Figure 14 Connecting the 6-Pin Connector to the Motherboard

Step 3 Reconnect the power connector's 4-jack harness, then reconnect the 2-pin 12V connector, as shown in .

Figure 15 Reconnecting the Power Cables to the Backplane

Step 4 Route the fan cables exactly as shown in . Note that the two longest cables are connected to the two installed fans on the right. The connectors to these two fans will fit into the space between the second and third fans.

Figure 16 Routing the Fan Cables

Step 5 Insert the second fan as shown in , making sure that the fan cable feeds to your left. Position the cables to the two installed fans so that they will fit under the first and second fans. Press the fan into place between the four sheet metal tabs.

Step 6 Reconnect the two 2-pin fan cables to the remaining fan, as shown in .

Figure 17 Reconnecting the Fan Cables

Step 7 Reinstall the remaining fan. Make sure you orient the fan so that the cables feed to the right (toward the second fan). Then route the cable completely under the fan before you reconnect it. This takes up the extra length of fan cable and keeps it out of the way. When correctly assembled, the cables appear as shown in .

Figure 18 Correct Fan Cable Routing

Step 8 Replace the air separator as shown in , holding all cables to the right of the separator as you slip it into the chassis.

Figure 19 Replacing the Air Separator

Step 9 Turn the access server so that you face the rear panel, and then reinstall the three mounting screws as shown in for the AC redundant power supply and for the DC redundant power supply.

Figure 20 Replacing the AC Redundant Power Supply Mounting Screws

Figure 21 Replacing the DC Redundant Power Supply Mounting Screws

Step 10 Replace the chassis cover as described in the next section, "Replacing the Chassis Cover."

Replacing the Chassis Cover

To replace the chassis cover:

Step 1 Turn the chassis so that the front panel is facing you.

Step 2 Hold the chassis cover over the chassis bottom at an angle, and align each of the cover tabs with the chassis tabs at the top rear of the chassis, as shown in Figure 22.

Figure 22 Replacing the Chassis Cover

Step 3 Lower the front of the chassis cover to close the chassis, and ensure the following:

•The chassis cover tabs fit under the edge of the chassis rear panel so that they are not exposed.

•The chassis tabs fit under the chassis cover so that they are not exposed.

•The chassis cover side tabs on both sides fit inside the chassis side panels so that they are not exposed.

When the chassis cover is properly assembled, no tabs are visible, as shown in .

Figure 23 Cisco AS5300 Chassis

Step 4 Secure the chassis cover with four screws.

Step 5 Reinstall the chassis on a rack, desktop, or table.

Step 6 Turn the chassis around so that you face the front panel and reinstall all interface cables.

Step 7 If you are installing a DC power supply in a central office, be sure to connect your grounding wire from the Cisco AS5300 chassis to a reliable ground.

Note   For central office installations, it is recommended that you use a 6 AWG green ground wire, with one end connected to a reliable ground. The other end of the wire should be crimped on the double-hole lug provided in the accessory pack. The lug should be secured to the mating holes on either side of the chassis with the 2 screws included in the accessory pack. For additional information on this procedure, please refer to the Cisco AS5300 Universal Access Server Chassis Installation Guide.

Step 8 Connect all AC or DC power cords.

Note   You can order a Y-connector (CAB-AC-Y) to plug into both power connectors in the redundant power supply. If you use this Y-connector, you remove the backup feature of this power supply by eliminating redundant operations and reducing reliability. Cisco highly recommends that you use both power cords whenever possible.

Step 9 Power ON the access server.

The internal power supply fan should power on and the six green LEDs on the front of the power supply should light. If one LED is not lit, consult the appropriate redundant power supply software message to determine where the problem is located.

Cisco IOS Support

The following Cisco IOS releases fully support the redundant power supply, however, you can use the redundant power supply with older releases for load balancing purposes only.

•12.0 (1) and later

•11.3(6)AA and later

•11.3(6)T and later

Cisco IOS Configuration Instructions

When the Cisco IOS software detects a failure or recovery from the redundant power supply unit, the Cisco IOS software sends an SNMP message to the configured SNMP server. Unlike messages that are sent to the console every minute, only one SNMP message is sent when the failure is first detected and another one is sent when the recovery is detected. Use this section to manage your Cisco AS5300 universal access server to use SNMP traps (messages). If you do not want to implement SNMP traps, skip this section.
